So many of us find ourselves eating alone or as a couple and, as a result, so many of us reach for convenience solutions. What if we cooked for ourselves like we were cooking for someone we loved? This is what this site is all about. Some of the food is healthy, some isn't, all of it is made with love.

Tomato and Anchovy Salad

This is a very simple starter, side dish or light main course using lovely marinaded anchovies.

I first had anchovies like this in Spain so in my head I always want to call them boquerones (which is just the Spanish for anchovies which isn't very helpful) but they often sell them in deli counters or sometimes in the chill cabinet in film covered trays or small tubs. Don't buy the anchovies in tins, they're great on a pizza or in pasta, not so good for a salad.

Slice the tomatoes and top with the parsley, almost using it as a salad vegetable rather than a herb. Check your anchovies and maybe taste one to see if they're oily or have vinegar already added. Top with the anchovies then with vinegar if your anchovies are quite oily as mine were or with a bit of vinegar and oil or just oil if they are more vinegary.

Add some coarsely ground sea salt and serve.

This would be great with some tapas dishes like some Spanish ham, some patatas bravas and some prawns:
